It’s not like cocktail lovers need an excuse to break out their favorite distilled beverage. Jennifer Lawrence, Kris Jenner, Robert Pattinson and Chelsea Handler (who has spoken openly of her preference for Belvedere) all have gone on the record expressing their affection for vodka.
P. Diddy and 50 Cent are both proud owners of vodka companies, Ciroc and Effen, respectively. So, why not use today, National Vodka Day (Oct. 4), as an excuse to sip like your favorite celebs?
Below, watch as we use both Ciroc and Effen’s newest flavors to create two easy cocktails in honor of this very important holiday. Cheers!
